(CNN) – While the world mourns the death of Kobe Bryant, one of the best NBA stars of all time, it seems that everyone had the same idea: stock up on Mamba merchandise.
And everything about Nike is officially sold out.
A search for “Kobe” or “Kobe Bryant” on the store’s website shows that there are no products available and immediately redirects to a company statement entitled “In Memory: Kobe Bryant.”
“Kobe was one of the best athletes of his generation and has had an immeasurable impact on the world of sports and the basketball community,” the statement said. “He was a beloved member of the Nike family. We will miss him a lot. Mamba forever. ”
A Nike representative confirmed that Bryant’s merchandise had been sold out and did not say when they might be available again.
Bryant spent 20 years in the NBA, all with Los Angeles Lakers, before retiring in 2016. Throughout his career, he won five championships, two MVPs in the NBA Finals and two Olympic gold medals.
The basketball superstar died on January 26 at the age of 41 when he and his 13-year-old daughter, Gianna Maria Onore Bryant, were among the nine people who died in a helicopter crash in Calabasas, California.
